LAST Sunday night, between and
IL o'clock, Berea, the grindstone
city," was flooded by the bursting of
a waterspout, it is supposed. Many
of the laborers' houses were inunda
ted on the flats, the occupants in one
instance being obliged to swim ashore
RUSSIA proposes to fax biddy on her
cackelariOus products, by which quite
a revenue is expected to be hatched
by laying a tax of a quarter of a cent
on each egg sheied out by hiddy-a
method which will not admit of a
brooding anxiety on her part in help
ing to hatch out the financial problem
which bristles with bayonets rather
than chickens,
THE new stock law passed by the
late legislature forbids the running at
large of horses, cows, sheep. hogs,
goats. geese, ducks, chickens, and
turkeys, under penalty of not less than

EX GOvERNoR.HOADLY has written
letter in which he says he cannot
consent to the use of his name in con
nection with place on the supreme
court bench. He hopes and believes
that 1.-The appointment will go South,
to some Democratic lawyer who be-
lieves that the constitution is in writ
ing and means what it says"
ARCHBISHOP LYNCH has issued an
order to all the prize sis of his diocese in
Ontario. which announces that no
further dispensations for mixed mar
riages will be granted W hen the woman
is non Catholic. He says: "Expe-
rience of many years has proved that

unable to comply with the essential
condition on hich such dispepsation
is granted"
OF the Supreme Judges of the Uni
ted States, twelve have been appointed
and confirmed since the 4th of March,
1861. Lincoln appointed five of these,
or more than ever were appointed
since the Court was organized, by a
single President Grant appointed
three and Hayes and Arthur two each.
President Cleveland now has the APP
pointment of one, and it may be that
he will be called on to fill three or
four more vacancies before the end of
his term.
1T was thought when Governor Hill,
of New York, nominated Col. F. ID.
Grant for Quarantine Commissioner,
and General Daniel E. Sickles for
Emigration Commissioner, that the
Republican majority in the State Sem
ate would do something for the SOL
diers. Nearly all the Grand Army
Posts in the State sent in petitions
asking their confirmation, but they
were thrown into the waste basket,
and the nominees were rejected by
strictly party vote of l3 to Z.
THE Philadelphia Record states the1
issue concisely as follows: The mass
of the Democratic pacry are in favor
of revenue tariff aud against a pro-
tective tariff. Trey are in favor of
taxation to carry on the government,
and opposed to taxation to carry on
private enterprises This is not free
trade, but it is fair play between man
and man; and it is the best poll
cy. because honesty is always the best
policy.

of expenditures does not vary from
that made by Secretary Manning, but
his estimate for the receipts of the year
ia exceeded by 100000. |
